Perry’s Bridge Hollow boutique hotel, based just a few kilometers outside Kruger National Park in the small farming town of Hazyview, offers relaxed yet sophisticated accommodation in a beautiful indigenous garden setting. Hazyview is known for its banana industry and striking panoramic landscapes. Transfer from Hazyview to the Sabi Sands Game Reserve daily to join morning and evening game drives. The Sabi Sands Game Reserve is a 65,000 hectare (160,618 acre) wildlife sanctuary and enjoys a wildlife population with one of the highest levels of biodiversity in Africa.
The custom furnished rooms of Perry’s Bridge Hollow each feature satellite television, air conditioning, indoor and outdoor showers, mini-safes, tea and coffee making facilities, fridges and private patios with Lowveld vistas. Relax by the pool or explore the various shops and restaurants of the adjoining Trading Post.
Named after its two life giving rivers, the Sabi and the Sand, this reserve is the oldest of all private reserves in South Africa and the fountainhead of sustainable wildlife tourism in Southern Africa. It is home to a vast wildlife population, including The Big Five, and a number of endangered species as well. Flanking the Kruger National Park, animals pass unhindered between the reserves.
This trip can be customized to accommodate your schedule and any specific requests you may have. Your travel consultant will prepare a customized itinerary for you.

Day 2
First Day on Safari:
Open safari vehicles with seating for between 6 and 12 visitors head out into the wild under the expert guidance of experienced rangers and insightful trackers.
Guests are able to get in close contact with Africa's most exciting wildlife species and are presented with unparalleled photographic opportunities.
Early morning game drive heads out as the sun rises and as the bush stirs to life. The ranger and tracker teams search for animals by tracking their spoor, and by listening for the tell-tale signs of activity.
The middle of the day is free to relax at the hotel, explore the town or to take an optional panorama tour, helicopter tour or raft adventure.
Late afternoon game drive commences as the sun burns its way towards the horizon. The animals are now getting more active, many preparing for the great hunt after dark. After sundown, the drive continues with the aid of powerful spotlights which reveal nocturnal species in another world.
On average, approximately 6 hours of game drives per day.

- Big Five animals (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino) may be viewed all year round.
- Visitors to South Africa for tourism, short business meetings, or those in transit do not require visas for stays of up to 90 days.
- Travelers entering South Africa from WHO-designated yellow fever countries are required to present their current and valid “International Certificate of Vaccination as approved by the World Health Organization (WHO)” (commonly called a “yellow card”) or statement of medical exemption (also located on the same yellow card). Additionally, South Africa treats Zambia and Tanzania as yellow fever countries. This requirement is imposed on travelers flying to South Africa via yellow fever countries, even when transiting passengers are required to stay on board the plane, or if the plane makes an unscheduled landing in a yellow fever country. As a precaution, all travelers to South Africa should carry their original yellow card.
- While most of South Africa is malaria-free, malaria risk exists throughout the year in rural low-altitude areas of Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces, including Kruger National Park and neighboring game reserves. Risk also exists in the coastal lowlands of KwaZulu-Natal north of the Tugela River (including in Zululand, but excluding urban areas of Richards Bay). In all risk areas, risk is much lower from June to September.
